A Nichols' Worth of
Comment On This and That
BY HARMAN W. NICHOLS
United Press Feature Writer
Washington (U.R) The tem
perature was pushing 90 when
the Red Cross nurse pushed the
needle into my
arm.
She took a
pint of blood,
and : it didn't
bother me a
bit. ;
One reason I
did -this was
because it
it seems that
a lot of folks
think that grv-
Haxmon Nichols ing blood in
hot weather does them in.
The Red Cross needs blood for
the lads in Korea and for the
folks at home, and the blood
bank is running dangerously
low. .
' The blood people have been
making a survey and have dis-
?-waa
covered why you are a little lax
in the blood-letting field.
Some Folks Scared
Some say folks are lazy and
also a little scared in hot weath
er. There's no need to be lazy or
scared. -
A Red Cross official said the
organization gets these excuses.
Farmers -are tired from working
in the field all day. Some folks
have to take long rides to the
nearest blood center. Hot weath
er adds to fatigue. . Golf courses
beckon on the "tired" business
man. and people take off for the
resorts.
Always Armistice Rumor
And, this official said, there
always is the rumor there is an
armistice in the offing in Korea.
The Red Cross has a continu
ing operation, come war, peace
or fire or high water.

Brown Rot Control
Measures Reported
' Peaches should be sprayed or
dusted by August 15 for control
of brown rot, Agriculture Agent
C. B. Cordy said today.
Cordy advised use of 60
pounds per acre of sulfur or
Ziram dust, or spray with six
pounds of wettable sulfur or Wz
pounds of Ziram per 100 gal
lons. If spiders are present add
one-third pint of 20 per cent
TEPP or one-sixth pint of 40 per
cent TEPP per 100 gallons.
The second spray for control
of root borer and earwigs also
should be applied to all stone
fruit trees by August 15. Use
eight pounds of 50 per cent DDT
per 100 gallons. Soak the trunks
and crotches so some runs to
the ground.
If DDT is mixed with the
brown rot spray it will leave a
toxic residue on the fruit.
and accidents will happen.
Farm machinery charts up a
sizeable number of serious acci
dents, many of them with a loss
of human blood.
Kids, out of school, get into
mischief. They start . fires, get
burned or get their feet cut bad
ly and need blood.
The Red Cross would like you
to know that giving blood in hot
time is as easy and as safe as in
cold time.
